Automation Workflows

Identify automation opportunities and design workflows for Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom scripts.

Purpose

Find the highest-ROI automation opportunities in your business and design the workflows. Focus on eliminating categories of manual work, not just individual tasks.

Workflow

Step 1: Audit Current Processes

What tasks do you or your team repeat weekly?
What involves copying data between tools?
Where do things fall through the cracks?
What tools/apps does your business use?

Step 2: Prioritize by Impact

Score each candidate:

Time saved per week (hours)
Error reduction potential
Revenue impact (direct or indirect)
Implementation complexity (easy/medium/hard)

Prioritize: High impact + Easy implementation first.

Step 3: Design the Workflow

For each automation:

Trigger: What starts the workflow
Steps: What happens in sequence
Conditions: If/then logic
Output: What's the end result
Error handling: What happens when it fails

Step 4: Tool Recommendation

Based on complexity:

Zapier: Simple, low-code, wide integrations
Make (Integromat): More complex logic, better pricing
n8n: Self-hosted, developer-friendly
Custom script: When no-code won't cut it

Step 5: Implementation Guide

Step-by-step setup instructions for the chosen tool.

Recommend starting simple and iterating
